chfneh Bugs.

A writer in an exchange makes the
following points on the chinch-bug
question
l. That it is useless 10 attempt to
raise spring wheat or barley where
chinch bugs have been present in any
considerable numbers the preceding
year, unless we have reason to believe
that they have been killed off by heavy
rains.
2. That in case the season should be
favorable TO the propagation of the
chinch bug, we always have il in our
power to get rid OF these pests by the
abandonment Of these two kinds of
grains for one or two years. But to
make this course effective there must
be a concert Of action by farmers over
q considerable section of country.
3. That the presence of chinch bugs
the preceding year viii not prevent the
raising of corn or any of the winter
grains.
4. With regard to oats the testimony
thus far is that if this grain be sown
where the chinch bugs abound, and
especially if il is sown exclusively, it
will be damaged to a greater or less ex-
tent the first year, but that the bugs
probably viii net continue to breed in
it to any great extent in the succeeding
years.

AGRICULTURAL.

1t Is desirable, where ii is possible,
TO give fowls ample range The care
is reduced TO the minimum in such
cases, and the expense OF keeping is
much less. But range is not abso-
lutely Indispensable. The number OF
fowls which can be kept in health and
made to pay in very limited quarters
is much larger than many, perhaps
the most, suppose. But to do this it
is necessary 70 supply what fowls upon
a good range obtain for themselves.
Fowls upon an extensive range obtain
plenty OF exercise, by which their
health Is promoted. Fowls in narrow
quarters must be induced TO take a
corresponding amount of exercise If
they are TO be kept equally healthy.
To do this various expedienis, like
burying grain, hanging up articles OF
food just within their reach, and a
constant turning up of the soil must
be resorted to. Fowls upon an ex-
tended range obtain variety OF food,
especially Of green food and insects.
Fowls in narrow quarters must be fur
nished with a variety of food especially
OF green and animal food This is not
difficult, but it is very often neglected.
Fowls upon an extended range obtain
clean ground, good dusting places and
the like. The first is obtainable by
constantly stirring the soil, using dis
infectants and the like, and the second
by furnishing a box provided with
road-dust, sulphur, and so forth. In
brief, II quarters are kept clean, variety
OF food furnished and exercise pro-
NOTED, fowls may be kept in close con-
finement and their health will remain
vigorous. Some of the finest speci-
mems have been raised in narrow quar-
ters. But Elueh greater care is neees
sary to produce the same results. 1t
remains exceedingly desirable, where
practicable, 20 furnish good range,
but there are many men who are de-
TERED from keeping fowls simply from
the mistaken notion that what is de
sirable is also indispensable. This mo-
ton ought 10 be removed, because it
is wholly false. IL 10 difficult to im-
agine any man, living outside OF the
compact parts OF city, who cannot
keep a few fowls il he is willing to take
the necessary care. But il man who
has but limited space desires TO keep
fowls, he should understand that he
must supply the things necessary to
health which fowls having free range
are able 20 obtain for themselves.

Some Interesting Discoveries Recently
Made In Arizona Territory.
Recently there were some strange
discoveries in the land of the cave
dwellers, not far from the Gila river. in
the Sierra Aladre range in Arizona.
The place of sepulture was securely
sealed with cement and was difficult to
penetrate. Great excitement was caused
by the discovery among the Indians Of
the neighborhood. who believing that
the mummies were the mortal remains
of some of the ancient deilies. weuld
fain have prevented their removal. The
strange treasure trove was taken away
only after several skirmishes.
Who were they? That il question
that viii probably never be answered.
What were theyP This question Is
answered in the care taken for the pres
ervation of their bodies and the skill
with which form and feature were pre-
served to last for ages. They were evil
IDENTIFY people of rank among a people
of wonderful character.
One of them must have been almost
a giant in life. The hair still adheres
to his scalp. while the eartilages of the
nose and ears are so nearly perfect that
only close inspection reveals their inn
perfeetions. The eyebrows are still
distinct, and well defined. while be-
tween the compressed lips the cork-like
tongue and glistening teeth are plainly
visible. The flesh on the bones is. of
course. considerably shrunken. but the
muscles stand out in bold relief, and
the features still preserve the unmis-
taxable characteristics of ancient Aztec
physiegnomy. which is. indeed. strongly
marked in all the bodies in the collec-
ton. In size and stature, and in general
appearance they strictly correspond
with the descriptions given by anti
quarians of the prehistoric Aztec race.
Then there is remarkably interest,"
ing group-;a mother aud female child,
the latter apparently about four years
old. They were wrapped in one shroud.
The delicate lineaments of the mother s
face are clearly distinguishable. while
the perfect preservation of the child
can not but be a mystery to scientists.
Still another of the bodies is that of
woman who may have been an Aztec
belle. She was young. and her silky.
flowing hair is in perfect state of pres
ervation. Her small delicate hands and
feet. with their long, fine nails, lead one
to believe that she must have been one of
the aristocracy os that ancient common
wealth. The beautiful coloring of her
shroud, remnants of which are still Wis
ible, show that her contemporaries were
by no means ignorant of the arts of
dyeing and weaving. Close beside her,
aud wrapped in shroud of similar
texture and color, were found the re-
mains of stalwart man, who Nigh.

band, father or lover. Chicago I'stsr

Fig Culture.

A fruit-raiser has the following to
say about fig culture:
have been for the past fifteen years
in the experimenting and the testing
of different varieties of figs and the
soil best suited to their growth. My
observations have been that they do
well ON most any kind of soil. l have
some growing on high, dry, sandy soil
where it is twenty feet down to water,
also some growing on stiff adobe not
more than five or six feet to water, and
they viii grow vigorously and we'll. In
starting a fig to make a tree, its head
should be as high as that of an apple
or peach tree, say three feet from the
ground. Be careful to keep off all
sprouts that may start from the root,
and especially as much so in clipping
off all limbs that may put out ON the
under side of the first limbs that you
let start for the head of your tree.
Should they be allowed to grow, they
viii soon, after commencing to fruit,
have the most of the tree spread out
on the ground. Young trees, well
cared for, will commence to ripen fruit
the second year, and will begin to pay
the third year. They will increase in
value yearly, without failure, for pc
riod am not able to say.
